At least one hundred of them were detained by riot police in Stuttgart's main square, the Schlossplatz.

English and German supporters were involved in clashes following Germany's win over Sweden this afternoon.

They threw bottles and plastic chairs and tables at each other, injuring five German fans.

Tonight's arrests come after 122 England fans were detained in Stuttgart last night.

Nearly half of those arrested have been ordered to be detained until Monday morning.

It's been documented how hooligans will arrange to meet for fights over the internet and through text messaging phones...

Yeah, the Germans were accredited with the starting of the incident, or at least the news said that, and the video footage suggested it. The head of the German police force said both parties were to blame which is true as both retaliated.

All of the people arrested have been released, they are banned from going into the city centre, but not the stadium so it can't have been all that bad or they would have been detained for longer.

If everyone took Eagle as their example we'd all be making endless "shouty" large font posts every time some tiny minority of American society or Irish society did something that anybody with any intelligence could see was barbaric behaviour.

We'd have a Channel 9 forum that had hundreds of posts a day that did absolutely nothing other than stir up endless flames and inter-country rivalries.

There is nothing to see here, other than Eagle proving yet again what a bigoted idiot he is. As if his constant name dropping and arrogance weren't enough to put up with already.

I've no idea what he's like in real life but at the moment, based on his online presence, I see him as the "Paris Hilton" of the Channel 9 world - ligging and freeloading everywhere, spreading his own peculiar brand of arrogance and bile, not realising that
behind his back (and sometimes in front of it) people are going "What a total arse. Why are people giving him any publicity?!".

Oh you're too polite. I always thought brain dead racist myself.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/203482-200-England-fans-arrested/241b3a6c0c4f425889f39deb017a407f#241b3a6c0c4f425889f39deb017a407f

I don't want to start an argument, but 'Paul from Edinburgh' obviously forgot to mention the fact an adult of his own country punched a 7 year old boy in the head because he wore an England football shirt.

As I said before I don't want to start an arguemnt, I would alos like to say, I have nothing against Scottish people (a lot of my family is Scottish), my point is, you can take a quote from anywhere and use it without any regard to recent events to show a point.

Also, in every country there are people who will behave in a way that is considered not acceptable, when a large group of people are placed in an area where there is strong rivalry, it is more likely that these people will behave in an unacceptable way, if
they do, they will probably influence others who will join in. This is visible in any microcosm of a society, schools are good examples.

I do agree that England fans were in the wrong to retaliate to the German fans, but as the head of the police in Germany said, it was the fault of both parties.

﻿Football fans (English, German, et al) are scam ... We should revoke all their passports and leave them there...

Yes, leaving the German fans stranded in Germany would be a very good punishment

Anyway, I don't know much about what happened between the English and German fans in this incident, but at all the World Cup events I've been to over the past couple of weeks the fans from every country have gotten along great, been having a good time and even
made some friends from other countries like that silly slogan says we should be . But maybe that's just because there have been lots of Australians at all the things I've gone to and we do a good job of keeping everyone else calm and friendly .]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/203482-200-England-fans-arrested/5e7776b40efa496f940a9deb017a4125#5e7776b40efa496f940a9deb017a4125

It was a contrast to Saturday, when riot police arrested more than 500 English who hurled bottles and plastic chairs in separate outbursts.

In the free open-air viewing area Sunday, middle-aged couples and families with children -- some carrying the German flag -- mingled with fans clad in flags or walking around shirtless to bare patriotic tattoos.

''It's a party. We're here to have fun,'' whooped Kevin Penfold as he swapped his red England shirt for an Ecuadorean one worn by Ana Cecilia Pinos Flores, who struggled to put on her sweat-soaked acquisition.

Nearby, an English fan with his chest hairs dyed ginger and shaved in the shape of a cross grinned benignly in an alcoholic daze as his friends covered him in a flag. Others
bellowed songs about downing German bombers in World War II.

Nearly 2,000 police officers patrolled this normally pristine southern city, a force boosted by
hooligan experts from England. It was a model of cooperation that so far this World Cup has helped prevent widespread trouble.

Police spokesman Olaf Petersen said nine fans were arrested for minor public order offenses. Authorities estimated that 30,000 English supporters watched the match in the downtown area, with tens of thousands more inside the stadium.

﻿We had over 150,000 people attend three Baseball games in the Bronx this weekend and nobody got into a fight.

When I went to Ozzfest 2000 Americans were throwing Beer bottles into the crowd (with people they didn't know). During WWII we kept Japanese people in Internment camps, and during the civil rights movemet we hosed down Blacks outside a school....

Couldn't agree more - they have totally humiliated us England types - again.

Leaving aside the fact that I'm not particularly interested in football - I of course totally distance myself from these hooligans and want to make it clear that they are NOT a representative example of the way English people behave in general.

Eagle; forgive me if I skew off at a tangent here, but this is an example of what happens when overly patriotic people go over-the-top. In this case, it's been fueled by alcohol, but there are plenty of other examples from other countries where this has happened,
and still happens, fueled by other means - we all know what happens when people in a position of power are those providing that 'example'.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/203482-200-England-fans-arrested/77e7989b69844c9fb2a29deb017a421e#77e7989b69844c9fb2a29deb017a421e
